The vampires were pretty bad but nothing 100% deet couldn’t keep under control.

The meadow above Ediza is an incredibly beautiful area.

I was planning on ending this report with a picture of grapes ripened on the vine in my backyard. I was going to make some comment about, “Mark may live in a beautiful area, but he can’t grow grapes like these in his back yard."

Guess what, the vermin ate every one of my grapes while I was out!

Thanks for reading my post.

Russ. nice trip report!one of my favorite areas. enjoyed it immensely, along with the Nydiver Lakes, on my way to Whitebark and ultimately Thousand Island.

i'll look forward to reading about your Banner and Ritter exploits.i've always been a little intimidated of the approach to the saddle-both from Ediza and Catherine- so I've never taken a whack at either...wussed out and hit Davis..
